We offer a variety of PVD coatings as well as plasma ion nitriding to improve the performance of our customers' products. Your problem may not always respond to a textbook solution, so we work with you to find the surface treatment best suited to your specific needs.
Critical Component in wear plasma coating

Our PVD coating process minimizes fretting and abrasive wear, reduces friction, protects against material transfer and provides a barrier against elevated temperatures. The racing industry needs surface treatments that provide the highest level of performance. Our staff is continually working to develop new thin film coatings for racing applications. Your unique requirements will determine which coating is recommended (TiN, TiCN, CrN, AlTiN, or ZrN) and whether the electron beam or our cathodic arc process is used. Matching the coating and process to your application ensures you of greatest success.

Our plasma nitriding process imparts a wear resistant case hardened layer which reduces galling and extends the fatigue life of your components. This process is used when the product experiences extreme loading and/or torque, or when the core hardness does
not lend itself to supporting a PVD coating.

Our gamma prime layer is used when a small white layer build-up is required and where impact may be a concern.

Our epsilon layer is used on low alloy steels, cast irons and when a thick white layer is necessary.

Our duplex layer is used when we will be applying one of our PVD coatings to the surface of a material that will not provide sufficient support. The hard case developed from the nitriding bonds to the PVD coating with less surface deflection.
